Biorenewable Insights
In addition to the above reports, our Biorenewable Insights program provides in-depth evaluations and reliable data on the technology, cost competitiveness and business developments of biorenewable chemicals and fuels. The Biorenewable Insight (BI) program was created in response to the increasing activity in this industry segment in recent years, including entrances and exits of players, emergence and commercialization of new technologies, feedstocks, product types, as well as growing interest from companies in the oil, chemical, financial and other sectors.
Special Reports focused on Low Carbon Intensity Petrochemicals
NexantECA is pleased to announce the launch of a new series of Special Reports focused on low carbon intensity petrochemicals. These reports will help companies understand the evolving dynamics driving change and navigate the implications of these shifts to stay profitable and plan long term for a sustainable low carbon intensity focused future within the chemical industry. These reports include a technical review that supports the cost of production and carbon intensity models used to assess comparative economics, carbon intensity, and calculate breakeven values for carbon intensity reduction, as well as providing strategic insights. The first in the series, Low Carbon Intensity Ethylene, was published in August 2022. Additional topics to be covered soon include propylene, C4s, aromatics, ammonia, methanol, polymers, and more.
